Prenatal Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and Asthma in Children
Prevalence of asthma increases with increasing dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) levels. However, the effect of early-life exposure, the fundamental window of exposure, is unknown. We assessed the association between prenatal DDE and other organochlorine compounds, and atopy and asthma during infancy. All women presenting for antenatal care in Menorca (Spain) over 12 months starting in mid...
متن کاملA Long-Term Risk? Prenatal POPs Exposure and Asthma in Young Adults
Although previous research has suggested that prenatal exposures to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may be harmful to a child’s developing immune system, few studies have investigated long-term outcomes in this regard. Findings reported in this issue of EHP provide evidence that exposure to certain POPs in the womb may be associated with an increased risk of developing asthma that persists...
متن کاملPrenatal Maternal Stress and the Risk of Asthma in Children
Emerging evidence indicate that maternal prenatal stress (MPS) can result in a range of long-term adverse effects in the offspring. The underlying mechanism of MPS is not fully understood. However, its complexity is emphasized by the number of purportedly involved pathways namely, placental deregulated metabolism of maternal steroids, impaired maturation of fetal HPA axis, imbalanced efflux of ...
متن کاملPrenatal p,p´-DDE Exposure and Neurodevelopment among Children 3.5–5 Years of Age
BACKGROUND The results of previous studies suggest that prenatal exposure to bis[p-chlorophenyl]-1,1,1-trichloroethane (DDT) and to its main metabolite, 2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethylene (DDE), impairs psychomotor development during the first year of life. However, information about the persistence of this association at later ages is limited. OBJECTIVES We assessed the association...
متن کاملIn utero exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and neurodevelopment among young Mexican American children.
OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship between prenatal exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and neurodevelopment of Mexican farm-workers' children in California. METHODS Participants from the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas study, a birth cohort study, included 360 singletons with maternal serum m...
